Tangrakottai, 18th century fortification in Tamil Nadu, India
The fortification features strong granite block walls and multiple entrances, incorporating architectural elements typical of coastal defense structures in South India.
Captain Eustachius De Lannoy, a former Dutch naval officer, participated in the reconstruction of this fort during the Travancore kingdom period.
The fort includes traditional shrines and religious structures that reflect the architectural preferences and spiritual practices of Tamil Nadu's inhabitants.
Located 7 kilometers from urban areas, the fort opens to visitors who want to explore the military architecture of Tamil Nadu.
The fort stands on flat terrain rather than a hilltop, making it different from most other fortifications constructed during the same period.
